Childhood-Onset Lupus Nephritis in the Childhood Arthritis and Rheumatology Research Alliance Registry: Short-Term Kidney Status and Variation in Care. Arthritis Care Res (Hoboken) 2023; 75:1553-1562. [PMID: 36775844 PMCID: PMC10500561 DOI: 10.1002/acr.25002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2021] [Revised: 07/14/2022] [Accepted: 08/16/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The goal was to characterize short-term kidney status and describe variation in early care utilization in a multicenter cohort of patients with childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (cSLE) and nephritis. METHODS We analyzed previously collected prospective data from North American patients with cSLE with kidney biopsy-proven nephritis enrolled in the Childhood Arthritis and Rheumatology Research Alliance (CARRA) Registry from March 2017 through December 2019. We determined the proportion of patients with abnormal kidney status at the most recent registry visit and applied generalized linear mixed models to identify associated factors. We also calculated frequency of medication use, both during induction and ever recorded. RESULTS We identified 222 patients with kidney biopsy-proven nephritis, with 64% class III/IV nephritis on initial biopsy. At the most recent registry visit at median (interquartile range) of 17 (8-29) months from initial kidney biopsy, 58 of 106 patients (55%) with available data had abnormal kidney status. This finding was associated with male sex (odds ratio [OR] 3.88, 95% confidence interval [95% CI] 1.21-12.46) and age at cSLE diagnosis (OR 1.23, 95% CI 1.01-1.49). Patients with class IV nephritis were more likely than class III to receive cyclophosphamide and rituximab during induction. There was substantial variation in mycophenolate, cyclophosphamide, and rituximab ever use patterns across rheumatology centers. CONCLUSION In this cohort with predominately class III/IV nephritis, male sex and older age at cSLE diagnosis were associated with abnormal short-term kidney status. We also observed substantial variation in contemporary medication use for pediatric lupus nephritis between pediatric rheumatology centers. Additional studies are needed to better understand the impact of this variation on long-term kidney outcomes.

Intraarticular steroids as DMARD-sparing agents for juvenile idiopathic arthritis flares: Analysis of the Childhood Arthritis and Rheumatology Research Alliance Registry.

[PMID: 36434731 PMCID: PMC9701017 DOI: 10.1186/s12969-022-00770-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2022] [Accepted: 11/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) who achieve a drug free remission often experience a flare of their disease requiring either intraarticular steroids (IAS) or systemic treatment with disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs). IAS offer an opportunity to recapture disease control and avoid exposure to side effects from systemic immunosuppression. We examined a cohort of patients treated with IAS after drug free remission and report the probability of restarting systemic treatment within 12 months. METHODS We analyzed a cohort of patients from the Childhood Arthritis and Rheumatology Research Alliance (CARRA) Registry who received IAS for a flare after a period of drug free remission. Historical factors and clinical characteristics and of the patients including data obtained at the time of treatment were analyzed. RESULTS We identified 46 patients who met the inclusion criteria. Of those with follow up data available 49% had restarted systemic treatment 6 months after IAS injection and 70% had restarted systemic treatment at 12 months. The proportion of patients with prior use of a biologic DMARD was the only factor that differed between patients who restarted systemic treatment those who did not, both at 6 months (79% vs 35%, p < 0.01) and 12 months (81% vs 33%, p < 0.05). CONCLUSION While IAS are an option for all patients who flare after drug free remission, it may not prevent the need to restart systemic treatment. Prior use of a biologic DMARD may predict lack of success for IAS. Those who previously received methotrexate only, on the other hand, are excellent candidates for IAS.

Abstract
BackgroundSince the development of COVID 19 vaccines, more than 300 million people have been immunized worldwide. Soon after vaccinations were initiated, reports on cases of myocarditis following the second vaccine dose have emerged.ObjectivesThis study aims to report our experience with nine patients with post COVID-19 vaccine myocarditis, and to compare them to a cohort of patients who presented with paediatric inflammatory multisystem syndrome (PIMS / PIMS-TS) post COVID 19 infection.MethodsWe collected all reported cases of patients who developed myocarditis following COVID 19 vaccination (Pfizer mRNA BNT162b2), from all pediatric rheumatology centers in Israel, and compared them to the cohort of patients previously diagnosed with PIMS.ResultsNine patients with myocarditis post-vaccination were identified and compared to 78 patients diagnosed with PIMS. All patients with post-vaccination myocarditis were males who developed symptoms following their second dose of the vaccine. Patients with myocarditis post-vaccination had a shorter duration of stay at the hospital (4.4±1.9 vs. 8.7±4.7 days), less myocardial dysfunction (11.1% vs. 61.5%), and all had excellent outcomes as compared to chronic changes among 9.2% of patients with PIMS.ConclusionThe clinical course of vaccine-associated myocarditis appears favorable, with resolution of symptoms in all the patients in our cohort. The risk–benefit decision for vaccination remains highly favorable, given the potential morbidity of patients with COVID-19, especially those with PIMS.Disclosure of InterestsNone declared

Abstract
BackgroundJuvenile systemic sclerosis (jSSc) is an orphan disease with a prevalence of 3 in 1 000 000 children (1). The Juvenile Systemic Scleroderma Inception cohort (jSScC) is the largest cohort of jSSc patients in the world. The jSScC collects longitudinal data prospectively in jSSc, allowing the evaluation of the development of organ involvement and patients and physician reported outcomes in jSSc over time.ObjectivesTo review the changes in the clinical characteristics and patient and physician reported outcomes over 12 months observation period from the time of inclusion into the cohort.MethodsThe jSScC cohort enrolls jSSc patients who developed the first non-Raynaud´s symptom before the age of 16 years and are under the age of 18 years at the time of inclusion (2, 3). We reviewed jSScC patient clinical data and patient and physician reported outcomes, who had 12 months follow up from the time of inclusion until 1st of December 2021.ResultsWe could extract data of 113 patients. The female/male ratio was 3.5:1. Median age of onset of Raynaud´s was 10.1 years and the median age of onset of non-Raynaud´s was 10.8 years. Eighty-eight percent of the patients were treated with disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) at time of inclusion in the cohort (T0) and 93% after 12 months (T12). Median disease duration was 2.5 years at T0. Antibody profile stayed unchanged. Only 3 clinical parameters changed and improved significantly, the median modified Rodnan skin score improved from 13 to 8 (p=0.002), the number of patients with swollen joints decreased from 17% to 8% (p=0.043) and number of patients with joints with pain on motion decreased from 20% to 12% (p=0.048). All other organ involvement did not show any statistically significant change from T0 to T12.All collected patient reported outcomes improved significantly from T0 to T12: the patient reported disease activity (VAS 0 – 100) from 40 to 20 (p=0.011), the patient reported disease damage (VAS 0 – 100) from 40 to 20 (p=0.001), patient reported ulceration activity (VAS 0 – 100) from 10 to 0 (p=0.02) and the CHAQ score from 0.3 to 0.1 (p=0.002). Two of the three physician reported outcomes improved significantly, the physician global disease activity (VAS 0 – 100) from 30 to 20 (p=0.011) and physician reported global disease damage (VAS 0 – 100) from 30 to 25 (p=0.028).ConclusionSkin and musculoskeletal clinical features improved over 12 months, with almost all patients on DMARDs, supporting likely response of these features to therapy. It was promising that internal organ involvement, like cardiac and lung, although potentially stable, did not significantly worsen or increase. The most striking observation in the positive direction is improvement across several patient and physician reported outcome measures over the 12 month time period in this large international cohort.References[1]Beukelman T, Xie F, Foeldvari I.

Abstract
BackgroundJuvenile systemic sclerosis (jSSc) is an orphan disease with a prevalence of 3 in 1 000 000 children (1). In adult patients there are significant differences between the clinical presentation of diffuse and limited subtypes (2). We reviewed clinical differences in presentation of subtypes in patients in the juvenile systemic scleroderma inception cohort up to 2021.ObjectivesTo study the clinical presentation of jSSc patients with diffuse (djSSc) and limited (ljSSc) subtypes.MethodsWe reviewed the clinical baseline characteristics of the patients, who were recruited to the juvenile scleroderma inception cohort (jSScC) (3, 4) till 1st of December 2021. jSScC is a prospective cohort of jSSc patients, who developed the first non-Raynaud´s symptom before the age of 16 years and are under the age of 18 years at the time of inclusion.Results210 patients with jSSc were included in the cohort, 71% (n=162) had diffuse subtype. The median age at onset of Raynaud phenomenon was 10.4 years (7.3 – 12.9) and the median age at the first non-Raynaud symptom was 10.9 years (7.4 – 13.2). Median disease duration was 2.5 years (1 – 4.4) at the time of inclusion. The female/male ratio was significantly lower in the djSSc subtype (3.7:1 versus 5:1, p<0.001). Antibody profile was quite similar, with the exception of a significantly higher number of anticentromere positive patients in the ljSSc (12% versus 2%, p=0.013). Decreased FVC < 80% was found in approximately 30% and decreased DLCO < 80% was found in around 40% in both subtypes. Pulmonary hypertension assessed by ultrasound was identified in 5% in both groups. Patients with diffuse subtype had significantly higher modified Rodnan Skin Score (mRSS) (16 versus 4.5, p<0.001), sclerodactyly (84% versus 60%, p<0.001), history of digital ulceration (62% versus 31%, p<0.001), decreased Body Mass Index (BMI) < -2 z score (20% versus 4%, p=0.003) and decreased joint range of motion (64% versus 46%, p=0.019). Patients with ljSSc had significantly higher rate of cardiac involvement (13% versus 2%, p=0.001).Regarding patient related outcomes djSSc patients had more severe disease, looking at patient reported global disease activity (VAS 0 – 100) (40 versus 25, p=0.039), patient reported global disease damage (VAS 0 – 100) (40 versus 25, p=0.021) and patient reported assessment of ulceration activity (10 versus 0, p=0.044). Regarding physician related outcomes the physician reported global disease activity (VAS 0 – 100) (32 versus 20, p<0.001) and physician reported global disease damage (VAS 0 – 100) (30 versus 15, p=0.014) was significantly higher in djSSc.ConclusionIn this jSSc cohort, the largest in the world, djSSc patients have a significantly more severe disease than ljSSc patients. Interestingly, we found no differences regarding interstitial lung disease and pulmonary hypertension.References[1]Beukelman T, Xie F, Foeldvari I.

Abstract
BackgroundJuvenile systemic scleroderma (jSSc) is an orphan disease with a prevalence of 3 in 1,000,000 children. Currently no medications are licensed for the treatment of jSSc. Due to its rarity, only recently have the first management and treatment guidelines been published, the jSSc SHARE (Single Hub and Access point for paediatric Rheumatology in Europe) recommendations, reflecting consensus opinion upon pediatric rheumatologists (1).ObjectivesTo better understand treatment practices internationally for jSSc, both at baseline and over 24 months observation period and to compare if real world therapies are congruent with the recent SHARE recommendations.MethodsThe juvenile systemic sclerosis inceptions cohort (jSScC) is a multinational cohort that prospectively collects clinical data, including medications at baseline and subsequent visits. The jSScC enrollment criteria include age of onset of the first non-Raynaud symptom younger than 16 years and age younger than 18 years at cohort entrance. The frequency of medications (general category and specific medication) was calculated across the cohort at timepoint 0 (enrollment), 12 months and 24 months.ResultsWe extracted data from the jSScC of patients who were followed for 12 or 24 months. 109 patients were followed at time point 0 (T0) and 12 months (T12), and data was available for 77 of them up at 24 months (T24). The mean age of the patients was 13.2 years at the timepoint 0. 77% were female and 75% had diffuse subtype. Disease duration at baseline visit was 3.1 years. The medications the patients were on recorded by the physician were captured at T0, T12 and T24 listed in Table 1.Table 1.MEDICATIONSTime point 0N=109T12 monthsN=109T24 months N=77Any Medication92% (100)97% (106)97% (75)Vascular medications Endothelial receptor antagonist16% (17)24% (26)21% (16) PDE-5-Blocker5% (5)8% (9)9% (7)ImmunomodulatorsCorticosteroids52% (57)44% (48)44% (21)All csDMARDs:81% (88)93% (101)92% (71) csDMARDs monotherapy61% (67)66% (72)60% (46) csDMARDs combination therapy17% (18)15% (16)14% (11) Methotrexate51% (56)50% (55)39% (30) Mycophenolate Mofetil26% (28)44% (48)47% (36) Hydroxychloriquine11% (12)15% (16)21% (16) Cyclophosphamide12% (13)2% (2)1% (1) Azathioprine2% (2)2% (2)3% (2)All bDMARDs:5% (5)14% (15)18% (14) bDMARDs monotherapy2%(2)2%(2)1% (1) bDMARDs combined with csDMARDs3% (3)12% (13)17% (13) Tocilizumab2% (2)10% (11)14% (11) Rituximab2% (2)4% (4)4% (3) Adalimumab1% (1)0% (0)0% (0)Autologous Stem cell transplantation0% (0)1% (1)0% (0)csDMARDs: Conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugsb DMARDs: Biological disease-modifying antirheumatic drugsConclusionAt baseline half of the patients were on corticosteroids. This is more frequent than typical adult SSc practice but coincides with jSSc SHARE treatment recommendations (#1). After 12 months observation in the cohort over 90% of patients received a DMARD therapy. Methotrexate and mycophenolate mofetil were the most commonly prescribed DMARDs, which also reflects the SHARE treatment recommendations (#2, #3). At 12 months the use of glucocorticoid decreased and the use of bDMARDs increased. In general, biological DMARDs are typically considered in severe or refractory (SHARE recommendation #7), reflecting the lower percentage compared to csDMARDs. Autologous stem cell transplantation was observed in one patient at 12 months, reflecting an option in jSSc with progressive and refractory disease (SHARE recommendation #8). Endothelial receptor antagonists, such as bosentan, were used over time in approximately 20% of the patients, reflecting SHARE recommendation #6 for pulmonary hypertension and/or digital tip ulcers. This is the first evaluation looking at clinical medication practice pattern in jSSc, and its comparison to recently published consensus guidelines.References[1]Foeldvari I, Culpo R, Sperotto F et al.

Abstract
BackgroundMultisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS- C) associated with COVID-19, presents as a cytokine storm with features of Kawasaki disease. Many cases present with shock and require intensive care admission.ObjectivesWe aimed to identify predictors for severe clinical course of MIS-C as defined by the need for ionotropic support during admissionMethodsA retrospective multinational cohort study was conducted. Patients with a diagnosis of MIS-C from 9 Israeli medical centers and one US medical center (Chicago, IL) were included. Demographic, clinical, laboratory and imaging variables during admission and hospitalization were retrieved. Univariate and multivariate regression models were used to assess odds ratio (OR) of ionotropic support need during hospitalization.ResultsOverall 100 MIS-C patients were included in the study. Sixty-five patients (65%) were hypotensive, 44% required ionotropic support, and 37% had finding of Left ventricular dysfunction. Univariate model showed that LVD was associated with the need for ionotropic support (OR 4.178 [95%CI 1.760-9.917], while conjunctivitis (OR 0.403 [95%CI 0.173-0.938]) and mucosal changes (OR 0.333 [95%CI 0.119-0.931]) were protective. Laboratory markers for severe disease course were low hemoglobin levels, leukocyte count, thrombocyte count, lymphocyte count, neutrophils count, albumin and potassium, as well as high troponin and BNP.ConclusionPatients with MIS-c that present with a Kawasaki-like phenotype are less likely to require ionotropic support, while other clinical and laboratory parameters were found as risk factors and should be monitored during MIS-C hospitalization.References[1]Chiotos K., Bassiri H., Behrens E.M. multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children during the coronavirus 2019 pandemic: a case series.

Abstract
BackgroundJuvenile systemic sclerosis (jSSc) is an orphan autoimmune disease with a prevalence of 3 in 1 000 000 children. Information on long-term development of organ involvement and clinical characteristics of jSSc patients in adulthood are lacking. It was believed that patients in adult cohorts may represent a survival biased population.ObjectivesTo assess differences in clinical characteristics of jSSc-onset patients from the pediatric age group, with a mean disease duration of 3 years, compared to the adult age jSSc-onset group, with a mean disease duration of 18.5 years.MethodsWe extracted clinical data at time of inclusion into the cohorts from the Juvenile Scleroderma Inception Cohort (jSScC) and data from juvenile-onset adult SSc patients from the European Trials and Research Group (EUSTAR) cohort. We compared the clinical characteristics of the patients by descriptive statistics.ResultsWe extracted data of 187 jSSc patients from the jSScC and 236 patients from EUSTAR. The mean age at time of assessment was 13.4 years old in the jSScC and 32.4 years old in EUSTAR. The mean disease duration since first non-Raynaud was 3.0 years in jSScC and 18.5 years in the EUSTAR (Table 1).We found significant differences between the cohorts. There were more female patients in EUSTAR (87.7% versus 80.2%, p=0.04). More patients had diffuse subtype in jSScC (72.2% versus 40%, p<0.001). The modified Rodnan skin score (mRSS) was significantly higher in jSScC (14.2 versus 12.1, p=0.02). Active digital ulceration occurred more often in EUSTAR (26.6%, versus 17.8% p=0.01), but history of active ulceration was more frequent in jSScC (54.1% versus 43%, p<0.001). Mean DLCO was lower in jSScC (75.4 versus 86.3, p<0.001). Intestinal involvement was significantly more common in jSSc (33.2% versus 23.8%, p=0.04). Esophageal involvement was more common in EUSTAR (63.7% versus 33.7%, p<0.001).

This might represent a combination of both survival bias and/or be explained by the longer observation time with less active disease (i.e. natural progression decreased mRSS over time). Further long-term observational studies with jSSc patients are required to address this issue.Disclosure of InterestsNone declared

Abstract
BackgroundThe febrile episodes of periodic fever, aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis, and cervical adenitis (PFAPA) syndrome occur, by definition, every 2 to 8 weeks.However, a subset of our patients appears to experience attacks at an even higher rate of more than twice a month, and was therefore named extreme PFAPA, or ePFAPA group.ObjectivesTo characterize this group both demographically and clinically in order to compare them to the non-extreme PFAPA (nPFAPA) group.MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients with PFAPA that were treated in the Schneider Children’s Medical Center of Israel from 3/2014 to 4/2021. Patients with concomitant familial Mediterranean fever were excluded. Thereafter the ePFAPA and nPFAPA groups were compared using Wilcoxon rank sum, Pearson’s chi-squared and Fisher’s exact tests.Results47 patients (12.9%) out a total of 365 PFAPA patients were included in the ePFAPA group. Compared to the nPFAPA group, ePFAPA patients had earlier disease onset (age 1.7 vs 2.96 years, P<0.001) and diagnosis (age 2.94 vs 5.02 years, P<0.001). Moreover, after initiation of an abortive treatment with corticosteroids, ePFAPA patients had higher increased flares frequency (72% vs 40%, P<0.001) and were treated with colchicine prophylaxis more often (67% vs 26%, P<0.001). Other clinical and demographic aspects were not significantly different between the two groups.ConclusionEPFAPA patients are a subset of patients who have earlier onset and diagnosis of PFAPA, and also increased flares frequently after abortive therapy with steroids. Current study is underway to describe the long-term outcome of this group.References[1]Periodic Fever, Aphthosis, Pharyngitis, and Adenitis Syndrome: Analysis of Patients From Two Geographic AreasBatu E, Kara Eroğlu F, Tsoukas P, Hausmann J, Bilginer Y, Kenna M, Licameli G, Fuhlbrigge R, Özen S, Dedeoğlu FArthritis Care and Research (2016) 68(12)[2]POS1326 FAMILIAL PERIODIC FEVER, APHTHOUS STOMATITIS, PHARYNGITIS AND ADENITIS (PFAPA) SYNDROME; IS IT A SEPARATE DISEASE?Butbul YAnnals of the Rheumatic Diseases (2021) 80(Suppl 1)[3]PFAPA syndrome is not a sporadic diseaseCochard M, Clet J, Le L, Pillet P, Onrubia X, Guéron T, Faouzi M, Hofer MRheumatology (2010) 49(10)[4]PFAPA syndrome in children: A meta-analysis on surgical versus medical treatmentPeridis S, Pilgrim G, Koudoumnakis E, Athanasopoulos I, Houlakis M, Parpounas KInternational Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology[5]The First International Conference on Periodic Fever, Aphthous Stomatitis, Pharyngitis, Adenitis SyndromeHarel L, Hashkes P, Lapidus S, Edwards K, Padeh S, Gattorno M, Marshall GJournal of Pediatrics (2018) 193[6]Long-term follow-up of children with periodic fever, aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis, and cervical adenitis syndromeWurster V, Carlucci J, Feder H, Edwards KJournal of Pediatrics (2011) 159(6)[7]Periodic fever, aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis, and adenopathy syndrome: Clinical characteristics and outcomePadeh S, Brezniak N, Zemer D, Pras E, Livneh A, Langevitz P, Migdal A, Pras M, Passwell JJournal of Pediatrics (1999) 135(1)[8]Risk factors for periodic fever, aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis, and adenitis (PFAPA) syndrome: a case-control studyKettunen S, Lantto U, Koivunen P, Tapiainen T, Uhari M, Renko MEuropean Journal of Pediatrics (2018) 177(8)[9]A clinical review of 105 patients with PFAPA (a periodic fever syndrome)Feder H, Salazar JActa Paediatrica, International Journal of PaediatricsDisclosure of InterestsNone declared

Abstract
BACKGROUND Social determinants of health (SDH) greatly influence outcomes during the first year of treatment in rheumatoid arthritis, a disease similar to polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis (pJIA). We investigated the correlation of community poverty level and other SDH with the persistence of moderate to severe disease activity and functional disability over the first year of treatment in pJIA patients enrolled in the Childhood Arthritis and Rheumatology Research Alliance Registry. METHODS In this cohort study, unadjusted and adjusted generalized linear mixed effects models analyzed the effect of community poverty and other SDH on disease activity, using the clinical Juvenile Arthritis Disease Activity Score-10, and disability, using the Child Health Assessment Questionnaire, measured at baseline, 6, and 12 months. RESULTS One thousand six hundred eighty-four patients were identified. High community poverty (≥20% living below the federal poverty level) was associated with increased odds of functional disability (OR 1.82, 95% CI 1.28-2.60) but was not statistically significant after adjustment (aOR 1.23, 95% CI 0.81-1.86) and was not associated with increased disease activity. Non-white race/ethnicity was associated with higher disease activity (aOR 2.48, 95% CI: 1.41-4.36). Lower self-reported household income was associated with higher disease activity and persistent functional disability. Public insurance (aOR 1.56, 95% CI 1.06-2.29) and low family education (aOR 1.89, 95% CI 1.14-3.12) was associated with persistent functional disability. CONCLUSION High community poverty level was associated with persistent functional disability in unadjusted analysis but not with persistent moderate to high disease activity. Race/ethnicity and other SDH were associated with persistent disease activity and functional disability.

Abstract
Background:The fact that mental state may serve as a trigger for attacks of periodic fever diseases is known in Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF). There is a lack of information regarding the role of emotional triggers for PFAPA attacks.Objectives:To examine whether emotional distress may trigger PFAPA attacks.Methods:Enrolled were patients with active PFAPA, from two Israeli medical centers. Researchers contacted their parents by phone in two occasions: a. within the two weeks of returning to school after the first COCID-19 lockdown; b. during the summer vacation (i.e., non-stressful period). Parents were asked regarding the occurrence of PFAPA attacks within the two weeks preceding the calls. The relative stress levels of the two periods were validated by an emotional distress scale questionnaire. Differences between occurrences of attacks during these two periods of time were recorded.Results:One-hundred and six pediatric patients enrolled in the study. Mean age was 7.37± 2.9. In the stressful period, 41 (38.7%) reported at least one attack during the preceding 2 weeks, compared to 24 (22.6%) in the non-stressful period (p = 0.017). Scores for the mean emotional distress questionnaire were higher in the stressful period compared to the non-stressful period (35.6± 8.1 vs. 32.1± 7.7, respectively, P = 0.047).Conclusion:This study shows that during a period of stress for children there were more PFAPA attacks compared to a relaxed period. These findings indicate that mental factors such as stress or excitement may be triggers for PFAPA attacks.Table 1.Attacks status during prior 2 weeks during stressful or non-stressful eventOutcomeFirst call(May 2020)Second call (August 2020)P-valuePediatric emotional distress score (PEDS), mean (±SD)35.6 (±8.1)32.1 (±7.7)0.047Any attacks during last 2 week, n (%)41 (39.8%)24 (24.2%)0.017Number of attacks0.04 One, n (%)27 (25.5%)19 (17.9%) Two, n (%)14 (13.2%)5 (4.7%)References:[1]Marshall GS, Edwards KM, Butler J, Lawton AR.

Abstract
Background:Juvenile systemic sclerosis (jSSc) is a rare disease with a prevalence of around 3 in 1,000,000 children. To better capture the clinical manifestations of jSSc the juvenile systemic sclerosis inception cohort (jSScC) has been prospectively enrolling patients with predetermined clinical variables over the past 12 years. One of the goals is to study the demographic, clinical features, and physician and patient reported outcome differences between those with juvenile limited cutaneous (lc) compared to diffuse cutaneous (dc) disease subtypes, to determine if characteristics are similar or different between dc and lc jSSc.Objectives:Evaluation of the baseline clinical characteristics of jSSc patients in the jSScC. Compare clinical phenotype between diffuse (dcjSSc) and limited cutaneous (lcjSSc) subtypes.Methods:Demographic, physical examination, organ system evaluation, autoantibody profile, treatment, and patient and physician reported outcome variables were evaluated from the jSSc Inception cohort and summary statistics applied using chi-square test and Mann Whitney U-test comparing lcjSSc and dcjSSc subtypes.Results:At the time of data extraction, 175 jSSc patients were enrolled in the cohort, 81% were Caucasian and 81% female. Diffuse cutaneous jSSc subtype predominated (73%). Mean disease duration was 3.1 year (±2.7). Mean age at Raynaud´s was 10 years (+3.8) and mean age of first non-Raynaud´s was 10.2 years (±3.8). Significant differences were found between dcjSSc versus lcjSSc, regarding several clinical characteristics. Patients with diffuse cutaneous subtype had significantly higher modified Rodnan skin score (p=0.001), presence of sclerodactyly (p=0.02), presence of Gottron’s papules (p=0.003), presence of telangiectasia (p=0.001), history of digital tip ulceration (p=0.01), and frequency of elevated CK value (p=0.04). Cardiac involvement was significantly higher in limited cutaneous jSSc subtype (p=0.02). Diffuse cutaneous jSSc patients had significantly worse scores for Physician Global Assessment of disease activity (38 vs 25; p=0.002) and disease damage (34 vs 19; p=0.008).Table 1.Comparison of demographic data and significant differences between dcjSSc and lcjSSc at time of inclusionWhole CohortN=175Diffuse SubtypeN=128Limited SubtypeN=47P valueFemale to Male Ratio4.3:1 (142/33)4.1:1 (103/25)4.8:1 (39/8)0.829Cutaneous subtypeDiffuse subtype73% (128)1280Limited subtype27% (47)047Mean Disease duration (years)3.1 (± 2.7)3.3 (± 2.9)2.6 (± 2.2)0.135Mean age of onset of Raynaud´s (years)10.0 (± 3.8)17 non-Raynaud9.8 (± 3.6)10 non-Raynaud10.6 (± 4.3)7 non-Raynaud0.219Mean age of onset of non-Raynaud´s (years)10.2 (± 3.9)10.0 (± 3.7)10.9 (± 4.3)0.173Disease modifying drugs88% (154)89% (114)85% (40)0.446CutaneousMean modified Rodnan skin score14.3 (0-51)17.4 (0-51)6.1 (0-24)0.001Gottron Papules27% (46/171)33% (41/124)11% (5)0.003Sclerodactyly78% (126/162)82% (98/119)65% (28/43)0.020Laboratory valuesElevated CK25% (30/122)30% (26/88)12% (4/34)0.041VascularTelangiectasia36% (56/154)44% (49/111)16% (7/43)0.001History of ulceration53% (91/173)61% (77/127)30% (14/46)0.001CardiacCardiac Involvement6% (10)2% (3)15% (7)0.002Patient Related OutcomesPhysician global disease activity(0-100) min -max35(0-90) n=14138(0-90) n=10825(0-80) n=330.002Physician global disease damage(0-100) min -max31(0-85) n=14034(0-85) n=10819(0-60) n=320.008Conclusion:Results from this large international cohort of jSSc patients demonstrate significant differences between dcjSSc and lcjSSc patients. According to the general organ involvement and physician global scores, the dcjSSc patients had significantly more severe disease.

Abstract
Background:Juvenile systemic sclerosis (jSSc) is an orphan disease with a prevalence of around 3 in 1, 000,000 children. It is known that in pediatric jSSc cohorts, there are a significant number of patients with overlap features, such as arthritis and myositis. However, the disease burden between those with and without overlap features in jSSc has not been defined.Objectives:Compare the clinical phenotype between children with and without overlap features in the juvenile systemic scleroderma inception cohort (jSScC).Methods:A cross-sectional study was performed using baseline visit data. Demographic, organ system evaluation, autoantibody profile, treatment, and patient and physician reported outcome variables were extracted from jSScC. Comparison between patients with and without overlap features was performed using chi-square test and Mann Whitney U-test.Results:At the time of data extraction, 175 jSSc patients were enrolled in the cohort, 81% were Caucasian and 81% female. Mean disease duration was 3.1 year (±2.7). Mean age at Raynaud´s onset was 10 years (±3.8) and mean age of first non-Raynaud´s was 10.2 years (±3.8). Overlap features occurred 17% (n=30) of the cohort, 12.5% in the diffuse cutaneous (dc) jSSc and in 30% in the limited cutaneous (lc) jSSc. Significant differences in clinical characteristics were found between those patients with compared to without overlap characteristics. Patients with overlap features presented more frequently with Gottron papules (p=0.007), swollen joints (p=0.019), muscle weakness (p=0.003), and lung involvement documented by decreased DLCO < 80% (p=0.06) and/or abnormal high resolution computed tomography (p=0.049). Anti-PM/Scl autoantibodies were also more common in this group (p=0.001). Significantly more patients without overlap features had Raynaud´s (p=0.006). Physician Global Assessment of disease activity was significantly higher in patients with overlap features (41 vs 34; p=0.041).

Abstract
Background:The “European League Against Rheumatism” and “American College of Rheumatology” 2019 (EULAR/ACR-19) criteria for the diagnosis of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) were recently published, with the stated goal of maintaining the level of sensitivity and raising the level of specificity for classification of SLE in adults.Objectives:We aimed to examine the function of the new EULAR/ACR-19 criteria in a population of children and compare them to the SLICC-12 and ACR-97 criteria.Methods:In this multicenter study the charts of jSLE patients from three tertiary medical centers were reviewed and compared to patients with non-jSLE diagnosis. Pediatric rheumatologists, blinded to the original diagnosis, reviewed and diagnosed all cases. Pediatric patients’ clinical and laboratory data were retrospectively extracted and then examined with regard to how they met the new and old criteria.Results:Included were 225 patients (112 jSLE, 113 non-SLE). When applied to juvenile SLE classification, the sensitivity of the new EULAR/ACR-19 criteria was 0.96 (0.9-.0.99) and the specificity was 0.89 (0.82-0.94). These were comparable to the Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics (SLICC) criteria. The sensitivity of the EULAR/ACR-19 criteria improves over time and was 0.83 twelve months following disease onset, reaching 0.96 after longer than 24 months.Conclusion:Among a cohort of jSLE patients, sensitivity of the new EULAR/ACR-19 criteria was found to be high and specificity may have improved slightly compared to the SLICC-12 criteria. We support the use of the new classification criteria for pediatric patients in future jSLE studies, but it should be noted that its specificity is lower than for adults.ACR-97SLICC-12EULAR/ACR-19Sensitivity (95% CI)0.79 (0.70-0.86)0.96 (0.9-0.99)0.96 (0.9-.0.99)Specificity (95% CI)0.94 (0.88-0.97)0.85 (0.77-0.91)0.89 (0.82-0.94)Accuracy (95% CI)0.86 (0.81-0.9)0.9 (0.86-0.94)0.92 (0.88-.0.96)Positive Likelihood Ratio (95% CI)12.7(6.1-26.2)6.35(4.1-9.9)9.0 (5.3-15.4)Negative Likelihood Ratio (95% CI)0.23(0.16-0.33)0.05(0.02-0.12)0.05(0.02-0.12)Diagnostic odds ratio (95% CI)55.5(22.80-135.0)120.85(43.0-340.0)180.1(61.3-529.4)References:[1]Smith EMD, Lythgoe H, Midgley A, Beresford MW, Hedrich CM.

Abstract
Background:Juvenile systemic scleroderma (jSSc) is an orphan disease with a prevalence of 3 per 1 000 000 children. There are limited data regarding the clinical presentation of jSSc. The Juvenile Systemic Scleroderma Inception Cohort (JSSIC) is the largest multinational registry that prospectively collects information about jSSc patients.Objectives:Evaluation of the jSSc patients at the time of inclusion in the JSSIC.Methods:Patients were included in the JSSIC if they fulfilled the adult ACR/EULAR classification criteria for systemic scleroderma, if they presented the first non-Raynaud symptom before 16 years of age and if they were younger than 18 years of age at time of inclusion. Patients’ characteristics at time of inclusion were evaluated.Results:Until 15thof December 2019 hundred fifty patients were included, 83% of them being Caucasian and 80% female. The majority had the diffuse subtype (72%) and 17% of all jSSc had overlap features. The mean age of first presentation of Raynaud´s phenomenon was 9.8 years in the diffuse subtype (djSSc) and 10.7 years in the limited subtype (ljSSc) (p=.197). The mean age at first non-Raynaud’s symptoms was 10.0 years in the djSSc and 11.2 years in the ljSSc (p=0.247). Mean disease duration at time of inclusion was 3.4 years in the djSSc and 2.4 years in the ljSSc group.Significant differences were found between the groups regarding mean modified Rodnan skin score, 18.2 in the djSSc vs 6.2 in the ljSSc (p=0.02); presence of Gottron´s papulae (djSSc 30% vs ljSSc 13%, p=0.43);presence of teleangiectasia (djSSc 42% vs 18% ljSS, p=0.01); history of ulceration (djSSc 42% vs 18% ljSSc,p=0.008); 6 Minute walk test below the 10thpercentile (djSSc 85% vs ljSSc 54%, p=0.044), total pulmonary involvement (djSSc 49% vs ljSSc 31%, p=0.045), cardiac involvement (ljSSc 17% vs djSSc 3%, p=0.002). djSSc patients had significantly worse scores for Physician Global Assessment of disease activity compared to ljSSc patients (VAS 0-100) (40 vs 15) (p=0.001) and for Physician Global Assessment of disease damage (VAS 0-100) (36 vs 17) (p=0.001).There were no statistically significant differences in the other presentations. Pulmonary hypertension occurred in approximately 6% in both groups. No systemic hypertension or renal crisis was reported. ANA positivity was 90% in both groups. Anti-Scl70 was positive in 35% in djSSc and 36% in the ljSSc group. Anticentromere positivity occurred in 3% in the djSSc and 7% in the ljSSc group.Conclusion:In this unique large cohort of jSSc patients there were significant differences between djSSc and ljSSc patients at time of inclusion into the cohort regarding skin, vascular, pulmonary and cardiac involvement. According to the physician global scores the djSSc patients had a significantly more severe disease. Interestingly the antibody profile was similar in both scleroderma phenotypes.Supported by the “Joachim Herz Stiftung”Disclosure of Interests: :Ivan Foeldvari Consultant of: Novartis, Jens Klotsche: None declared, Ozgur Kasapcopur: None declared, Amra Adrovic: None declared, Kathryn Torok: None declared, Maria T.

Abstract
Background:Juvenile systemic sclerosis (jSSc) is an orphan disease with a prevalence in around 3 in a million children. Pulmonary involvement in jSSc occurs in approximately 40 % in the inception cohort. Traditionally in jSSc, pulmonary function testing (PFT) with FVC and DLCO are used for screening and computed tomography (HRCT) was more reserved for those with abnormal PFTs. More recently, it has become apparent that PFTs might not be sensitive enough for detecting ILD in children.Objectives:Utilizing a prospective international juvenile systemic scleroderma cohort (JSScC) [2], to determine if pulmonary screening with FVC and DLCO is sufficient enough to assess the presence of interstitial lung disease in comparison to CT evaluation.Methods:The international juvenile systemic scleroderma cohort database was queried for available patients with recorded PFT parameters and HRCT performed to determine sensitivity of PFTs detecting disease process.Results:Of 129 patients in the jSScC, 67 patients had both CT imaging and an FVC reading from PFTs for direct comparison. DLCO readings were also captured but not in as many patients with tandem HRCT (n =55 DCLO and HRCT scan). Therefore, initial analyses focused on the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of the FVC value from the PFTs to capture the diagnosis of interstitial lung disease as determined by HRCT.Overall, 49% of the patients had ILD determined by HRCT, with 60% of patients having normal FVC (>80%) with positive HRCT findings, and 24% of patients having normal DLCO (> 80%) with positive HRCT findings. Fourteen percent (n = 3/21) of patients with both FVC and DLCO values within the normal range had a positive HRCT finding.Conclusion:The sensitivity of the FVC in the JSScC cohort in detecting ILD was only 39%. Relying on PFTs alone for screening for ILD in juvenile systemic sclerosis would have missed the detection of ILD in almost 2/3 of the sample cohort, supporting the use of HRCT for detection of ILD in children with SSc. In addition, the cut off utilized, of less than 80% of predicted FVC or DLCO could be too low for pediatric patients to exclude beginning ILD. This pilot data needs confirmation in a larger patient population.Supported by the “Joachim Herz Stiftung”Disclosure of Interests:Ivan Foeldvari Consultant of: Novartis, Bernd Hinrichs: None declared, Kathryn Torok: None declared, Maria Jose Santos Speakers bureau: Novartis and Pfizer, Ozgur Kasapcopur: None declared, Amra Adrovic: None declared, Valda Stanevicha: None declared, Flávio R.
